Hogwarts Legacy: The Hogwarts Legacy, the long-awaited video game forHarry Potter fans, was a colossal success in 2023. Developed by Avalanche Software, it sold over 15 million copies worldwide, enabling Warner Bros. Interactive to surpass its forecasts. It would be surprising if Warner Bros. didn't build on this success... And although a Hogwarts Legacy 2 has not been officially announced, a few clues lead us to believe otherwise!
A sequel in development? That's what a recent hint on the Warner Bros. Discovery website. The clue in question: a job offer for a software engineer for an "unannounced AAA console game ", as our Gameblog colleagues explain. Note also thatAvalanche Software has published two new job offers forassociate software engineer and senior character technical artist profiles. Although the announcement doesn't directly confirm that they're for Hogwarts Legacy 2, it's a possibility that shouldn't be ruled out. The studio needs talent with mastery of theUnreal Engine, the graphics engine on which the first episode runs. This hiring, coupled with the discontinuation of DLC for the first game, could well indicate that the studio is gearing up for something big.
Game files reviewed by YouTube dataminer GrandTheftDiamonds also reveal that interesting gameplay mechanics could be included in Hogwarts Legacy 2. These include a romance system, a house points system, and a morality system affecting the reputation of apprentice wizards. These concepts could add a new dimension to the game and further excite fans.
Although nothing is 100% certain, anticipation is growing. In the meantime, fans can prepare for the release of the Nintendo Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy, scheduled for November 14, 2023, and try out a 45-minute demo available to PS Plus Premium subscribers. To your controllers!
